Focal Point Fixed !! You're off to a flying start - carry on! minor point - the white of the melamine wreaks havoc with the white balance for a background - just flip it over ( unless it's 2 sided) I like the simple " drill another hole....get another blank when there are too many holes" - it's simple, so it will get used!!

@ No problem! I'll definitely look up the access hole cover one. I have a problem at the minute trying to figure out how to cut a 1cm circular recess to fit a circular resin piece into. It's for resin coasters that I made that are too small, so I was going to put them into round wooden pieces with a recess to fit the existing coasters into. (I know, I should have made the recess and then poured the resin!) The base of my plunge router is too big to be able to make your jig for a hole this small - I tried it just now and you can't see the jig to even put the screw in! Any advise would be welcome. I tried using chisels but my skills aren't that good. Thanks and keep up the content, it's brilliant! Joe Belfast.

Thank you my brother across the pond. I don’t have a plunge router so I put a 1.5” nail as close to plum as I could eyeball which gave me the vertical movement. Worked like a charm. Took your advise on adding the extra lines at the start. Wouldn’t ya know I messed up the first hole. Got in on the second one though. Way better this way then trying to get a nice hole with a jig saw.

First router arrived today, never used one before, needed to cut holes in a desk I built for plugs and wires to pass through. Used this method and it allowed me to use half chamfered edges to give me sloping edges and to make plugs to part fill the holes and only show the wires. Took a couple of attempts but works great!

Sometimes you need a quick and dirty jig, not to make a magic template you can use for all time with tightening bolts and runnels for plates, etc. This was a perfect quick jig (that you actually CAN use quite a few times). Paerfect!

Great, got my first router today but bought a 1/4 inch plunge router which is ok for holes of say more than 5" but I need to cut smaller 3" holes for tweeters on speaker baffles, any ideas on how to get the center screw inside the faceplate of the router, going to try to make some kind of guide plug with a recessed nut poking up from below. Thanks for the vid though, got me going making holes in just a short while.

Hi, what’s up buddy? Quick question I would like to install a circle frame in my tiki bar.

Enjoyed the instructional video. I am interested in the router though and did it come with the different plates. Also did the metal collar come with or separate. Lastly I'm having to cut 24" disks from 1/2" plywood, what bit do you recommend for this job? The vac. Attachment on the router is new to me as well. Thank you. Regards, Drew

Жыл бұрын

Hi Drew, most routers come with 1 or 2 different sized guide bushes they normally wouldn't have different plates. For cutting 1/2" ply for ease of cutting I would suggest a 1/4" or 3/8" bit possibly an spiral upcut but straight cut would work well also

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Why don't you just use the bars and fence that came with the router. It has a hole for a screw. You are using them then as tramel bars, perfect circles every time, with hole in centre but that can be filled or used as your template

👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👍

208-8.5-13=186.5mm how’d you end up with 191?

I dont understand where you got the 13. The offset is 8.5 from collet to the bit so it's 208-8.5-8.5=191

@johnvgig

Collet offset = 8.5, plus the width of the bit, 13=21.5. The disk with no center hole should therefore be 186.5mm in diameter. No?

Yes when using the template and guide bush you can cut circles without leaving a centre hole.

No centre hole? Wouldn't you call the hole that the centering screw goes through a centre hole?

@ No, stopped watching at the two-sided tape portion. Will look again.

But there IS a center hole that was made by the pivot screw.

Жыл бұрын

Correct when using the jig however there is no centre hole when using the template

if you can hold it steady, nice and slowly, and run the router counter clockwise making sure it doesn't run away you can make a much cleaner cutting edge on ply if that is important. I am not responsible for any harm or injurie to you or your tool as a result of my comment. Try it on your on risk...

Жыл бұрын

I'm well aware of climb cuts but I wouldn't recommend to novice/beginner woodworkers. If a cleaner finish is really important I would recommend a downcut bit over a climb cut.

SORRY, WHEN CUTTING THE CIRCLE WITHOUT A CENTRAL HOLE, YOU USE A COPIER CUTTER, RIGHT?
